Welcome to the School of Art, Design and Architecture at the University of Huddersfield.

A School that provides a progressive and diverse environment, where research and teaching excellence meets creative practice. Our courses are award-winning, professionally accredited and research intensive.

The School is housed in the award-winning Barbara Hepworth Building which represents many of the values that we aspire to in ADA: the studios are open-planned to provide a light and airy environment that encourage collaboration and interaction. We are also equipped with specialist facilities that allow students to explore

both traditional ways of making alongside cutting-edge technologies in our various disciplinary areas.

The ethos of ADA is to work hard, to be creative and to enjoy the experience of exploring ideas and to make works that are ethical, beautiful and useful.

Coming to the School of Art, Design and Architecture at the University of Huddersfield is much more than a checklist to a qualification and this celebration of work demonstrates the unique opportunity it offers to grow, develop, inspire and succeed.

Our new Barbara Hepworth Building is a beacon of innovation – an open studio environment equipped with state of the art facilities and spaces for collaborative thinking and a vibrant community for all of our students and staff to engage in.

We are focussed on our new cross disciplinary pedagogical ethos across the School, which is amplified by the opportunities presented through our new building and teaching spaces. The new Barbara Hepworth Building will facilitate a new studio based learning environment that empowers students through the co-location of disciplines within the same learning spaces and in the process encourages students to develop advanced creative practices driven by engagement with the complex interconnected media world in which they will work as artists and designers.

We will interconnect traditional studio practices with new practices driven by ideas and contexts predicated on an exchange of ideas and shared technologies.

Quynh Anh Nguyen Advanced Project Management in Construction MSc, 2017 PhD (Architecture and the Built Environment) “I graduated from Advanced Project Management in Construction MSc in 2017. The course brought me into a whole new world of Building Information Modelling and Lean construction. Based on that knowledge, I got a job right after my graduation with a good position in a construction company in my country. During the time I worked there, I found some problems that inspired me to start my research.

The University of Huddersfield was my first preference for undertaking this research, and my decision wasn’t wrong.”

10 Art, Design and Architecture | Huddersfield

“My time at the University of Huddersfield was incredibly rewarding, the mixture of conceptual design with a practical basis has provided me with important skills and knowledge which I have utilised in various aspects of my career. The tutors were always on hand and willing to help, especially during my interdisciplinary collaboration with the Masters of Fashion and Textiles students.

Jordan Blacker Master of Architecture (International) (RIBA Part 2), 2016

The ‘international’ aspect meant that I was fortunate enough to visit some incredible places during my time on the course such as Porto Alegre in Brazil.

The course also allowed me the freedom to set my final thesis project in New York City. After qualifying as an Architect in England I have now followed on with the international theme and I am currently gaining experience in the USA.”

Lisa Kothöfer Creative Pattern Cutting MA, 2017 “As an international student I felt very daunted before starting my Master’s degree at Huddersfield, but I quickly felt at home having made some fantastic friends very quickly. My Creative Innovation and Entrepreneurship lecturer deserves a particular mention; she taught me a lot: to look into other areas and develop new methods for finding solutions. The University of Huddersfield helped me to be more open in my thinking and introduced me to new ways of looking at things. Studying at Huddersfield has, so far, been one of my best experiences; especially because of all the interesting people I met and gained as good friends!”

Alice Bradshaw MA by Research (Art and Design), 2015 “I did a Masters by Research with an AHRC scholarship at the University of Huddersfield, graduating in 2015. My research subject was the value of rubbish in art practice and I produced a Rubbish Newspaper and Thesis entitled Rubbish and other Crap, Debris, Detritus, Dirt, Discards, Garbage, Junk, Leftovers, Litter, Refuse, Rejects, Remains, Ruins, Scrap, Shit, Shreds, Trash and Waste.

During my time at Huddersfield I presented papers at the Sussex Trash Conference, the Canadian Association of Geographers AGM and launched my Rubbish Newspaper at the Supermarket Art Fair in Stockholm. Alongside several exhibitions related to my rubbish practice I also had a solo show at Venn Projects, Blackpool, showcasing my Museum of Contemporary Rubbish project and my Rubbish Newspaper.

The academic structure and supervision support at Huddersfield provided a nurturing, critical framework to explore and develop my subject interests which I continue to develop as an artist, curator and writer. Through my Masters, I initiated “Talking Rubbish” / “Rubbish Conversations” and have continued to develop a strong interest in dialogue in art practice, setting up monthly artists’ critical dialogue sessions Art Lab at Dean Clough. I also co-produce another publication project “Dwell Time”; reflecting on mental wellbeing in partnership with the Penistone Line Partnership.”

Lesley Pollacco Creative Pattern Cutting MA, 2017 “Having reached the age of 55 I felt I needed a new challenge and as a D&T teacher I always enjoyed teaching the pattern cutting element of the GCSE and A level course. So, I decided to undertake an MA in Creative Pattern Cutting with the aim of becoming a freelance pattern cutter. Once on the course I realised that I particularly enjoyed the more academic side of the course; immersing myself in academic literature related to new ways of thinking and researching.

Rather than becoming a pattern cutter I now feel that I have truly become an expert in one particular area of the body and have plans on taking my studies further by studying for a PhD.”

Niza Nyimbili Architecture/Architecture (International) (RIBA Part 1) BA(Hons), 2016 Master of Architecture/Architecture (International) (RIBA Part 2), 2019 “Studying Architecture at Huddersfield has been an experience that opened my eyes to new possibilities and career opportunities. The diversity of experience from the tutors and their own work inspired me to strive for bigger and better goals for my career and gave me direct access to the best industry practices and skills. The emphasis on peer review and collaboration in the studio pushed me to improve my work and skills too. The trips abroad, learning about other cultures and places have been the highlight of my studies and an aspect of architecture I want to continue learning and practicing. I was also able to win a number of different competitions as well as exhibit my work around the UK, due to my tutor’s support and industry knowledge.

Studying at Huddersfield prepared me for work as I was prompted to learn a number of different tools and develop the right skills such as learning software, model making, and presentation skills. These were essential to setting me apart from other candidates to gain the position I now have. I have been working for a multinational practice for over a year, working on international and UK architectural projects and the skills I developed at University are being used daily.”

Kara Clifford Graphic Design BA(Hons), 2015 Graphic Design MA, 2016 “I am currently working as a Midweight Designer at The Bigger Boat, a creative digital agency based in Mirfield. I design for wellknown brands including Little Tikes, Baby Born and Celloglas. I graduated from the University of Huddersfield in 2015 and was lucky enough to be offered a scholarship to remain on to do a Master’s degree. The tutors at the university became like a family to me - I didn’t want to leave! They are all so passionate about seeing students succeed. On both courses, we were encouraged to experiment and have fun, which gave me the freedom to excel in my own personal practice. Collaboration is a big part of the course structure and working alongside other students helped open my eyes to what the ‘real world’ was like.

Without the University of Huddersfield I wouldn’t be in the dream job that I am today. I am one of those lucky people that can genuinely say I love what I do.”

Charlotte Goldthorpe Senior Lecturer and PhD candidate Charlotte is currently working on a craft practice-based PhD in the School of Art, Design and Architecture, exploring storytelling and the transmission of memories through making.

As part of her research she collected donated stories at her ‘Lost Love Cafés’ held nationally. The narratives document relationships from the care of parental love to the fleeting passions of brief encounter. Charlotte processes elements from the gathered stories into bespoke craft artefacts. The narratives dictate the choices of materials, techniques, forms and processes. These include leather working, silicone casting, brass soldering, forging, wood and metal turning. She has developed new processes – often in collaboration with skilled craft practitioners – to realise these finished works.

Throughout the research process, friendships have developed between participants and craftspeople, allowing new stories and memories to be made.

She has created nine finished pieces and has displayed them at Dean Clough Art Gallery in Halifax and as part of the Temporary Contemporary initiative at Market Gallery in Huddersfield. The finished artefacts resemble objects that have been lost, forgotten or are still in existence in daily life: rolling pin, brass shoes, football, medal, trainers, toilet dolly, handbag, box camera, watch. Everyday objects imbued with emotion.

Scott Taylor Photography BA(Hons), 2016 Digital Media MA, 2017 “I wouldn’t be the person I am today, or where I am, if it wasn’t for my time at the University of Huddersfield. The facilities, equipment and tutors are at the core of what helped to advance my skills, knowledge and confidence. Now I’m the Senior Photographer for one of the UKs favourite luxury online flash-sale retailers.”

Dr Jonathan Lindley, Lecturer in Animation Graphic Design BA(Hons), 2010 International Graphic Design Practice MA, 2011 PhD (Art and Design), 2020 After working as a graphic design and animator with artists such as Lightning Bolt, Rolo Tomassi, Enter Shikari, Drumcorps and AC4, Lindley began his research to further explore notions of post-subculture. As a major part of this research, he relaunched Sunbird Records, over the course of a few years neo-tribalists interested in similar cultures began to congregate around the record label.

During 2016, the now organised team of participants opened their own music venue, bar and recording studio after refurbishing a decommissioned bank. This space became a beacon of independent culture in the North West, allowing Sunbird Records to test new strategies for alternative, independent and fringe cultural production more effectively, through design.

Having completed his PhD in 2019 and cemented Sunbird Records as a dynamic cultural platform, his research turned to the design of a more direct and emphatic affiliated entity, which emerged as a design collective. They explore and challenge the accepted parameters of audio visual production, their first project—Writhing—is set to release late 2021, as a multifaceted vehicle for cultural critique.

Anneké Pettican Subject Lead for Art and Communication Anneké Pettican is an artist and researcher. She is co-director of Brass Art with Chara Lewis and Kristin Mojsiewicz. Their collaborative practice examines aspects of the uncanny and they are critically acclaimed for their work exploring the double, the shadow and the limen.

Selected exhibitions include A Trick of the Light: Magic, Mystery and Illusion Grundy Gallery, Blackpool (2019), Sensorium, SUSAS, China (2019), Coal Forest Woodhorn Museum, Northumbria (2018), that-which-is-not Bury Sculpture Centre, Manchester (2018), xCoAx, National Museum of Contemporary Art (MNAC), Lisbon (2017), GESTURED Chetham’s Library, Manchester (2017), Cultural R>evolution, ISEA Hong Kong (2016), The Festival of the Unconscious, The Freud Museum, London (2015), Brass Art: Freud’s House The International3, Manchester (2015), Leave the Capitol, The Fleming Collection, London (2013).

“At the time of writing this, I have been at the University for 8 years. First, I studied Graphic Design BA(Hons) and was lucky enough to receive the Vice-Chancellor’s Scholarship to continue my studies to Graphic Design MA and progress further to an Art and Design PhD. The University of Huddersfield has helped me gain confidence not only in my practice but also as a person.

The tutors throughout my time here have been nothing but amazing, the guidance and support they have offered has helped shaped who I am today.

Architecture/Architecture (International) (RIBA Part 2) Master of, Course information Successful completion of this RIBA validated course provides exemption from Part 2 of the ARB prescribed Examination in Architecture.

As part of the process of becoming a professionally-qualified Architect in the UK, graduates are required to complete a period of supervised ‘practical training’, 12 months of which (commonly referred-to as the ‘Year Out’) is normally undertaken before commencing full-time academic study at Master’s level.

This period of practical training constitutes Year 1 of the University of Huddersfield MArch course.

The rationale and definition of ‘International’ both builds upon the studies undertaken as part of the Architecture (International) BA(Hons) degree awarded by the University of Huddersfield and acknowledges the reality of rapidly changing architectural practice in a fast moving, global context.

Our course will aim to prepare you for new and emerging forms of practice through the development of your personal learning skills and a deep understanding of the need for flexibility, adaptability, innovation and enterprise in your career.

Therefore, students who have not previously completed a satisfactory period of practical training should join the course in Year 1.

Students who have already completed a satisfactory period of practical training should apply to join the course in Year 2.

C U D A S Centre for Urban Design, Architecture and Sustainability CUDAS comprises of three research themes: Urban Design, Architectural Practice and Humanities, and Sustainable Environments and Practice. These investigations operate at many scales and levels, but a common thread is a concern about the integration of architectural, environmental and urban design. Accordingly, the overarching ethos of CUDAS is that design informs all aspects of academic research of the built environment, whether in the historical, cultural, theoretical or environmental contexts.

CUDAS

Research Project In 2017, Professor Adrian Pitts and Dr Yun Gao launched the Sustainable and Creative Village Research Network which is helping to modernise villages in China while preserving the important traditions of rural life.

The research network is advising academics, architects, planners, local administrators and villagers in Southwest China. Its work stems from the expansion of China’s cities in recent decades, which has seen large numbers of the rural population moving to urban areas, driven by the prospect of higher living standards.

CUDAS

Consequently, the region has a large low-income rural population. China’s government made revitalising the area and its people a priority in 2005, and identified its large numbers of traditional villages for preservation and tourism.

The Network’s aim is to support village modernisation in a sustainable way. It is helping to understand the issues faced, developing better advice on solutions for building design and construction, and promoting heritage skills in rural villages. New buildings are improving living standards, and generating better economic prospects for rural residents.

Professor Pitts has a technical background in sustainability and urban development, including work assessing plans for the London Olympics of 2012. Dr Gao has been active in researching design issues in the villages of Southwest China.

The research was pragmatic and locally based, starting around 10 years ago following study visits with students. Data on the needs of villagers was gathered, and Dr Gao met with groups in the region ranging from architects to village elders.

Their collaboration on research into improving buildings and facilities triggered a realisation that the principles of forward-thinking, sustainable urban development could also be applied to villages.

They are working in partnership with Chongqing Jiaotong University, Yunnan Arts University, Guizhou Minzu University, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Beijing University of Technology and Xi’an Jiaotong Liverpool University with research network funding by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, UK.

U-VITAL Housing debates generally focus on new buildings, and there is scarce research on upgrading of the existing housing stock. Upgrading can have a positive social, health and financial impact, especially for low-income populations. Upgrading the existing stock of social housing offers an opportunity to ease the effects of inadequate housing through improvements, reducing social costs, alleviating housing deficits and promoting sustainable approaches. Targeted upgrading efforts need to impact sensitive processes, involving all stakeholders (e.g. end-users, housing associations, construction companies and design professionals).

These have specific and potentially conflicting needs and interests. Shifting from individual to more collective engagements, through innovative mediation, should bridge boundaries between stakeholders.

Innovative Design Lab (IDL)

Current research projects

This research premise is that by applying and refining Living Labs (LLs) in the social housing context, user-valued innovations can be identified, developed and explored. Boundary Objects with advanced communication tools (e.g. games, Virtual Reality, Building Information Modelling) are investigated to support decision-making, contributing to idea generation, collaboration and conflict mediation.

A transatlantic articulated nexus between research institutions in Brazil (BR), Germany (DE), the Netherlands (NL) and the United Kingdom (UK) will address social challenges through social housing upgrading protocols.

KTP with Arcadis A Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) links businesses to academic partners in the UK to drive innovation through collaboration. A KTP enables a business to bring in new skills and the latest academic thinking to deliver a specific, strategic innovation project through a knowledge-based partnership. A KTP has recently been established between the Innovative Design Lab and Arcadis, the leading global natural and built asset design and consultancy firm.

The aim of the partnership is to help benchmark current practices and embed world-class expertise, developed and captured within other industry sectors, nationally and internationally, aiding rapid upskilling of the delivery teams and delivering strategic change within the business. The objective of the project is to integrate Lean and BIM-based processes at Arcadis to deliver productivity improvements and enhance company and stakeholder performance. The project will promote changes and raise awareness of BIM and lean integration within the company (and also across the supply chain), enabling the company to align design workflows with key stakeholders’ future ambitions. The project is divided into 5 main stages, outlined in the timeline below.

Where is Huddersfield?

Huddersfield is in a great central location in the UK. It’s around three and a half hours north of London by car. Leeds and Manchester are both just a quick train ride away. And good connections to the M62 and M1 mean it’s easy to reach the rest of the UK by car or bus. So travelling to see the folks or your friends for a weekend should be a doddle.

Explore Hud It’s hard to put into words just how special Huddersfield is. But pictures give you a much better idea so we’ve included some of our favourites below. Why not watch one of our films about spending the perfect day or evening in Huddersfield? Visit hud.ac.uk/explore-hud to find out more.
